Educational Field Trips
Are you an educator looking for an incredible experiential learning opportunity for your students? Come learn with us on our 200+ acre outdoor classroom.
It’s more critical than ever for students to develop critical thinking, creativity, communication, leadership, and other important life and learning skills to be effective and productive members of society. There is no better way to help students learn these skills than the experiential learning model, where students learn by doing. Experiential learning provides opportunities for students to gain a deeper understanding of subject matter not possible in the classroom, to apply knowledge in real-world scenarios, and to inspire them to become lifelong learners. Check out these experiential education offerings from the Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Center to help your students be the best they can be.
